I had searched for this one a few years ago. Successsful this time but a bit of a struggle to get the log out of the container. Finally untwisted the wire binding on my notebook and managed to hook it out. TFTC

Cool catch (dont kill dolphins)

found it

Freed up the container and resited should be good for a while. Blenheim Bear

Found but too wedged to get out. Spent 20 minutes but no luck

Thanks but it was Wedges in the wall so I couldn't log it

Tftf, second look but unfortunately it has been jammed in tight & we were unable to get it out so took a pic

Found, tried to remove but couldn't , it appears that it has replaced upside-down & lid is jamed Taken photo

Really small! Thanks!

Found this one particularly hard to get out

Quick little find

Found. Took a little while

Found it on the 1st June 24Found it reasonably easily hard to get out. On had a paperclip.

Found it

This was cool little find. Took us a little while

Very cool threw us off but went back & boom

Found cache with teenage son after many years ago a no find. Couldn't get cache out of its hidy hole though as didn't have tweezers or tools

A good hide, we found it. But had no tools to pull the log out. Might need to add tweezers to the caching kit

Quick find

Someone jammed this in so far we needed tweezers to get it out. TFTC

Really in there. But got it out. Thanks.

Thanks for the sneaky find

Smallest one I've found so far. Fair while looking before we found it

The teeny tiniest find for us so far. Fun find! One of these things is not like the others

Used chop sticks to get out of photo log

Thanks for find, a little tough to get but got it

Very tricky, TFTC

Bit tough to get

Couldnt write on it but I found it!!

Good hard find

Bit of a tricky location but very sneaky spot.

There are no eyes... Just a black wall and concrete too hot to kneel on!

Found it TFTC diddi_

Was about to give up, starting to rain, had tied my shoe laces 10 times, when I finally found it. Log very damp and starting to smell! Had to get it out with a pair of wezzers. TFTC.

On this rainy day, there was no muggler around and we had plenty of time. Log is wet though

Found

Its a soggy sausage so unable to sign

there was a little rock hiding it but we did it - & great hiding spot

Shorty get low low low

Infoferret was keen to avenge this 3rd-visit DNF while in the area, and had picked up some intel. 2nd try for me. She found it after 3 of us had quite the hunt. Cheers Blenheim Bear

19 August 2023 15:05. TFTC Blenheim Bear for placing this cache, number 12889 for me. Third visit for me, second for BFG, took a while but I spotted it in the end. Really glad to get that off my nemesis cache list.

TFTC! Definitely had to pop a squat and the umbrella dripped rain all down my back

Good little one. Tftc

Spiders acted as guards to this one, made it more fun and challenging!

Awesome little cache in a cool wall

2nd find of the day! Super cool find!

M25: Day 2 of caching in New Plymouth.
Starting off with this cache, nice and easy find, although had to wait for a few muggles to pass by. log all good and signed here. TFTC.

Bung eye

Thanks

Awesome tiny one to find. Tucked in the rocks. Look near the start

We found it! Hint helped for sure! Great cache and location!

Yet again I came , I looked, I prodded, I looked again... and still came away empty handed.

With the offer of a free lunch if I found this, I had a thorough look… but failed

Early evening so lots of eyes on the wall but very few on me. A systematic approach yielded results relatively quickly. TFTC.

Looked hard but did not find unfortunately

Found it

Super cool capsule! The log sheet is almost full ️

Super well hidden! How cool

Very very sneaky find

School holidays so time for a tiki tour to visit friends in Taranaki. Stayed in New Plymouth today and enjoyed a stroll around Pukekura park. Lots of I’s, 6 to be precise but no cache spotted. Will watch.

After a work shared lunch had my boss help look and she found it, was her first cache

Could not find

Couldn't find a little to hard and would take a long time to find it. But if you think you are good at finding things you should definitely give it a go

Found, nice and easy when you 'listen to the hints"

Nice easy find

Had to be super sneaky but found it

Really smart little capsule enjoyed finding

Great one for young kids and not too difficult

Will be returning to this one at night!

After meeting the CO at an event earlier we have to come to give this one a go. It all made sense when we arrived at GZ. The search was on in the dark with torches. I think we finally spottted it within about 10 minutes. A good hunt deserves a favourite point.
Malinkaly and I planned a road trip to go to the MEGA but Covid has postponed the event again. We decided to continue on with our planned journey making adjustments as we go with the ever-changing travel restrictions.
Greetings from Dunedin!
Thanks for the cache, Blenheim Bear

Got told about this one at a meeting we had with local cachers. So off we went and when reaching the destination brought the search lights to assist. Loved this area! Such a fun idea! Very much appreciate you telling us about it and naturally placing the cache here, Blenheim Bear. We took a while to locate it, but we lay eyes upon it at last.

*** Out on our MEGA Roadtrip with Wilbywarrior. Who says this can only happen when the MEGA is actually held?! Greetings from Dunedin, caching friends

Well hidden.

Great cache

Found it , had a bit of a search but got there in the end.

Didn’t take too long to locate once my GPS settled. What an interesting wall! TFTC

Don’t give up , leave no stone unturned lol

Lol what a tricky find! Don’t give up

Awesome little find.

Nice little find

ANZAC weekend in Taranaki. Focused on Adventure Labs and also whatever will be handy. This hide was one of them.

It's time to leave New Plymouth.
Great hide!
Picked up early in the morning.

Found this cache. Got a few odd stares from people walking past. Was ready to give up when i got a lovely hint from a local who said she had to find it in order to stop people going on her property trying to find it. very friendly about it.

No luck for us here today - good location to place a cache though.

Had a squiz found a twig, had another gawk then found the cache. Thanks with DeltaTea

Thanks to whatsForTea beedy eyes this cache was found.

My dad forgot to bring a pen but I found TFTC

Couldnt find it and that even with no muggles around...

Easy find. Tweezers needed

Found

Eye catching

Very quick find

After a bit of looking we found it!

Good eyes, and it can be found. Whether you have classes or not it can be found, quite fun to look for

Thanks for the hint tying shoe lace you may want to put your foot up

We decided not to spend too long searching for this cache, at this unusual and interesting wall, but as it happened we didn't need to. With the hint, we laid our fingers on it reasonably soon, although we needed an implement to extract it. The cache we found was a bison. TFTC

I'm afraid the i's blinded me

As I started searching, two women walked out of the building asking me whether I got it yet. Not geocachers, but have previously found it and were keeping an I on it lol! TFTC!!

Thanks Blenheim Bear for the cache. It’s #1162 for us. We found your cache on 31 December 2019. Nice hide - hint was very useful.

Finally found it woop woop

No idea. By the cache title i was going on a single eye somewhere, but no find for Taybeedragon and myself.

Day eleven of Taybeedragon's and my big 3 week circumnavicaching trip around Mt Taranaki, starting from Palmerston North. Today is wandering about New Plymouth
Highlights:
* 3 weeks, 536 caches
* Mt Taranaki had been removed for washing, which was a bit of a shame. Even after it had been returned we were only allowed to see it for it was less than half an hour a day.
* High percentage of caches with crappy coordinates
* Amazing Pukekura Park
* AMAZING Pukekura Park light show!
* Pukeiti Gardens
* Lots of cache maintenance!
